    Effect of organic manures and biofertilizers on growth, yield and quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
    (JNKVV, 2014) Singh, Dharmendra; Singh, V.K.
    ABSTRACT (An abstract of the dissertation submitted to the Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh) in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Agriculture, Vegetable Science). The present study entitled, “Effect of organic manure and biofertilizers on growth, yield and quality of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cv. Narendra-6” was conducted at Research Farm, J.N.K.V.V., College of Agriculture, Tikamgarh (M.P.) during rabi 2012-13. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications. The factor A treatments consisted of B0 [without biofertilizers (control)] and B1 [biofertilizers viz., PSB @ 2.5 kg ha-1 and Azospirillum @ 2.5 kg ha-1]. The factor B treatments consisted of five manures and fertilizers (t) viz., t0 - Control (without manure and fertilizers), t1 - Farm yard manure (@ 12 tonnes ha-1), t2 - Vermicompost (@ 6 tonnes ha-1), t3 - Farm yard manure 50% (@ 6 tonnes ha-1) + vermicompost 50% (@ 3 tonnes ha-1) and t4 - Recommended dose of fertilizers (N2 @ 60 kg ha-1, P2O5 @ 50 kg ha-1 and K2O @ 30 kg ha-1 ). The objectives of the experiment were to study the effect of organic manures and biofertilizers on growth, yield and quality of tomato. The higher plant height, maximum number of branches and leaves plant-1 with the combination of RDF + biofertilizers application and lowest plant height, minimum number of branches and leaves plant-1 was recorded in control plot at all growth stages of tomato. Among the different treatments, FYM + biofertilizers were found to be superior for earliness to attain anthesis and 50% flowering. With respect to fruit yield attributes, application of RDF+ biofertilizers recorded higher values for number of fruits per plant, fruit weight and fruit yield, while control plot recorded lower values for the above characters. The treatment RDF + biofertilizers was found to be superior for producing higher fruit girth, number of locules fruit-1, number of seed fruit-1, seed and pulp ratio (g) and T.S.S. percentage while the control treatment recorded lower values for the above characters. The treatment FYM + vermicompost + biofertilizers recorded higher self life of fruits at room temperature and lower spoilage percentage. Significantly lower self life of fruits at room temperature and higher spoilage percentage, were recorded in the control plot. On the basis of present investigation, it can be inferred that the receiving of RDF + biofertilizers is more effective in increasing the crop growth and fruit yield but, fruit quality superior in FYM+ vermicompost with biofertilizers application under the agro-climatic condition of Tikamgarh (M.P.) was the optimum to achieve higher productivity of tomato.

    Studies on phosphorus fertilization on seed yield of cowpea [vigna unguiculata (L.) walp]
    (JNKVV, 2015) Sodge, Manish; Singh, V.K.
    ABSTRACT The present investigation entitled “Studies on phosphorus fertilization on seed yield of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp]” was carried out during kharif season of 2014 at the Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, College of Agriculture Tikamgarh, (M.P.). The experimental material for the present investigation was comprised of sixteen treatments of cowpea. These treatments were sown in Split Plot Design with three replications, to observed growth, yield attributes and yield parameters and to estimate the economics of the treatments. Observations were recorded on the basis of five random competitive plants selected from each treatment separately for growth, yield attributes and yield parameters were evaluated as per standard procedure and also estimate the economics. On the basis of results, the present investigation is summarized as follows: On the basis of present investigation, it is concluded that the cowpea variety Pusa Komal responded well in terms of growth, seed yield and attributing characters. Among the interaction of Phosphorus x FYM, application of 75.0P2O5kg/ha + 5.0tFYM/ha (P3F1) was exhibited significantly maximum growth (viz., plant height, number of branches per plant, number of clusters per plant, d a y s t o 5 0 % f l o w e r i n g , days to first picking, y i e l d a t t r i b u t e s ( i . e . number of pods per cluster and number of pods per plant) and seed yields ( i . e . p e r p l a n t , p e r p l o t a n d p e r h e c t a r e ) as compare to other treatment combinations. Seed inoculation of 0.5kg PSB/ha was recorded significantly maximum growth and seed yields ( i . e . p e r p l a n t , p e r p l o t a n d p e r h e c t a r e ) o f c o w p e a as compare to other treatment combinations. Combined application of 75.0P2O5kg/ha + 5.0tFYM/ha + 0.5kg PSB/ha (P3F1B1) was noted significantly maximum growth and seed yields ( i . e . p e r p l a n t , p e r p l o t a n d p e r h e c t a r e ) o f c o w p e a as compare to other treatment combinations. It is revealed from the data obtained that the treatment combination of P3F1B1 (application of 75.0P2O5kg/ha + 5.0tFYM/ha + 0.5kg PSB/ha) gave significantly maximum 14.74 q/ha seed yield, Rs. 265320/ha gross return and net return of Rs. 232876/ha with benefit cost ratio of Rs. 8.18 was obtained in cowpea variety Pusa Komal.

    Effect of varieies and integrated nutrient management on growth, yield and quality of chilli (Capscium annuum Linn.)
    (JNKVV, 2015) Chauhan, Kaushlendra Singh; Singh, V.K.
    (An abstract of the dissertation submitted to the Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh) in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Agriculture, Vegetable Science). The present study entitled,“Effect of varieties and integrated nutrient management on growth, yield and quality of chilli ( Capsicum annuum Linn.)’’ was conducted at Research Farm, J.N.K.V.V., College of Agriculture, Tikamgarh (M.P.) during rabi 2012-13. The experiment was laid out in factorial randomized block design with three replications. The factor A treatments consisted of V 1 [Pusa Jwala] and V2 [Garima-12]. The factor B treatments consisted of five manures and fertilizer (combination) viz., I1 - Control (RDF -100:50:50 kg NPK ha-1), I2 - RDF + FYM (10 t ha-1), I3 - RDF + Vermicompost (2.5 t ha-1), I4 - RDF + Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza @ 2 kg ha-1and I5 - RDF + Azospirillum @ 2 kg ha-1 . The objectives of the experiment were to study the effect of varieties, organic manures and biofertilizers on growth, yield and quality of chilli On the basis of findings of present investigation, it may be concluded that Chilli variety Garima-12 recorded maximum fruit yield of 6192.8 kg ha-1 over the other variety Pusa Jwala (5970.8 kg ha-1) while INM treatment showed that highest green chilli yield of 6815.5 kg ha-1 was recorded with I3 (N:P:K100:50:50+vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1) where as it was lowest (4218 kg ha-1) with the treatment I1 (100:50:50 N:P:K kg ha-1). Perusal of data revealed that interaction of variety X biofertilizer was found non-significant but combination I3 x V2 was numerically superior (7105 kg ha-1 fruit yield) over rest of the combination. Highest gross monetary return of ` ₹248675 was obtained with the combination V2 I3 i.e., Garima 12 x RDF + Vermicompost (2.5 t ha-1) where as it was lowest in V1 I1 (`₹144305) Net return shows the profitability of the particular treatment. In case of net return, highest (`₹191739) was obtained with the combination of V2 I3 (Garima 12 x RDF + Vermicompost). While least (`₹91869) net return was calculated for treatment i.e. Control (RDF 100:50:50 kg NPK ha-1) Findings of the study revealed that highest B:C ratio of 1:3.37 was recorded under combination V2I3 (Garima 12 x RDF + Vermicompost 2.5 t ha-1) while it was minimum (1:1.82) with the V1 I1 (Control (RDF -100:50:50 kg NPK ha-1)
